“you can rest assured that only the truly worthy will be there”

That is exactly how eternal life doesn’t work.

Well that may be true, but Roman Catholics are a work-based lot, and that is how they think of it. So to the Greeks I became a Greek, and to the Jews I became a Jew,...as the Apostle Paul wrote.

With only five days to go, quibbling about doctrines of man seems a little pointless. How about we just love another?

“That is exactly how eternal life doesn’t work.”

Actually...

“All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.” 2 Thessalonians 1:5

The worthiness is His, not ours, but we still need it for Heaven in any case.

The Lamb is worthy. Our acceptance of Him as our Lord and Savior makes us worthy.
